Just checking in.

Hey one and all,
Just wanted to say that all is going quite swimmingly in pre-production. It will be coming to an end soon. Allan will be Tracking his drums end of this month for the final showdown. My new guitar is working out great. Used it in practice a few times now and I'm loving it. Looks like Tom will be upgrading his guitar soon too (having played my PRS in pre-production).
All this work has found me not touching my xbox in 2 weeks. I'm dying to play left for dead damn it! Still managed to find the time to start watching Prison break though.(bring on season 2).

11 days till Ross and Kate's wedding, i better buy my suit.

Monto

HEY ALL!!!

YOU KNEW IT WAS COMING SO HERE IT IS!!!! LOL

Just want to say on behalf of Dan, Ross, Tom and myself a massive MASSIVE thank you to all you wicked people who made the trip with us up to london and of course those that took the time to come over to Monto from London. You guys never fail to do us proud and remind us how lucky we are to have 1st such good friends and 2nd such loyal followers of our band. It really wouldnt be worth doing it without you!
A speacial thanks has to go to my mum and Ross's dad Mike for driving us all to London and back not to mention putting up the money for us to do it! Again thank you so much! :-)

I'm sure I speak on behalf of the rest of the band when I say it really was one of my biggest highlights since I joined this band a couple of years ago and that's down to you guys..... so i hope you had as much fun as we did!

Cant wait to do it all again!

Allan

BIG things on the horizon...

Hello TLD ninjas!

You may have noticed there is a bit of a gap in our upcoming gigs and not as many shows as we usually play-there is a reason for this!

As you would expect from us we have some plans and plots that we are trying to keep secret as we work on them but there should be some announcements soon!

In the meantime we would just like to thank everybody once again for being our friend and supporting us the way you do-it means everything to us (gonna get all emotional in a minute...).

Keep checking the page cuz the roller coaster ride that is TLD is just about to take another giant leap for mankind!

Keep evolving and we'll see you soon!!!

Ross

Gig Review

Gander Gig Review June 19th

The reason I left my home to come here tonight was to hear “The Longest Day”, after stumbling upon their “My Space” page by chance, the songs that I heard there really impressed me. One of those songs was the opening track tonight “Utopia” which showed that this 3 piece packed a real punch with some great guitar work with stunningly good vocals. A cover of the Nirvana song “Breed” was thrown in midway through the set, a great version adding some variety, however with their own material being so good I would have preferred more of that. This sound deserves to be heard in a big place, it is atmospheric , inspiring and even making the hairs on the back on my neck stand up. The electronic backing tracks merged perfectly well with the drums and guitars giving a truly memorable listening experience. “Suit of Lies” for me was one of the stand out tracks of the night, with vocalist Dan Henry giving a very emotional performance despite their only being a dozen or so people in the audience. The Longest Day deserve to be heard my many more people, they are something very special.

Current mood: betrayed


Hey ladies and gents!

As the title suggests our new 2008 demo has a faulty track, TIME WILL TELL... not just any track but the bloody 1st one...the most important one... the bloody track the samplers named after for FU*% Sake i dont F*%~ing belie.... Any way as i was saying you can all send your complaints to "YouSendIt.com" who screwed me over .... they may have well just done to me what they do to that kid in "Scum" in the flower pot shed and been done with, the lowsey suns-a-bitches!

Anyhow we only gave out 10 or so...so on a serious point if anyone took one and wants us to get them a new one we can get that to them no problem... just leave your details here. Alternatively the track is available for free download so you can grab it from our myspace page.

Thanks all!

Allan.

Gig in the A2 Lounge at Bryanston

Hey!

Ross here,just chiming in with a little update...

We recently had a gig at Bryanston in the A2 lounge and we absolutley loved it!!! The guys and gals there whent crazy and it was definately one of the best gigs we have played.

We got to try a couple of new songs out and they seemed to go down really well,plus we handed out our brand spanking new 2008 demos (only had about 2 left at the end of the night-they cleaned us out!) and apart from having my mic stolen a couple of times and almost falling into the drumkit it was an all round wicked night.

We captured some of it on the camcorder so no doubt it will end up in the next Video diary at some point (which is coming soon...promise!).

Just wanted to say a HUGE thankyou to Ryan and Tom for sorting us out for the gig and looking after us and thanks to all the ladies and gents in the crowd for making us feel really welcome and appreciated.

We are heading back to the [TLD] studio for a couple of weeks to work on some new songs and a new set and are hitting the live scene again at the end of February.

See you all soon!
